This was a great episode Charles. Sifu Alex is amazing. I especially enjoyed listening to him and how knowledge he is of Bruce Lee. His history with his martial artist connections is astonishing. Coming from an dedicated Lee fan like myself I was in awe. Alex is a little younger than us and yet his knowledge is just so interesting. This episode left me yearning for more. Can’t wait for part two. He is an individual I definitely want to meet. I love his podcast. He is a cool cat. I recall listening to Yeun Wah on TH-cam saying that the Triad said Bruce was untouchable because they liked him and the impact he bought to Asian culture so the theories that the Triad had something to do with his death was a total a falsehood. One thing I took notice of when Chan Wei Man told Brandon to step up his game, that alone was great mentoring, educating Brandon on how truly great his father was. Gem of an episode Charles and Sifu Richter. That was top notch 😎👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽✌🏽.
Milt Man thank you so much! I love have Sifu Alex on my show! He is a wealth of knowledge on Bruce Lee and Martial Arts! I like you description of him being a cool cat! That he is! Yep he is younger than us but his knowledge is vast! Part 2 gets even better brother! See you Friday and have a wonderful weekend!
Bruce Lee is legendary kung fu movie star of all time
Rest in peace kung fu movie legends never die
Darren thanks for commenting and subscribing to the channel! Glad you enjoyed and see you Friday for more Bruce Lee!! 👍✌️
Because of Lee, my entire approach to Fitness, in general, was expanded.
I still use all those related principles today.
Ray so do I! He was light years ahead of his time! Glad you enjoyed and see you for part 2 later today!✌️
@@CharlesDamianoBLC Indeed. Thank you.
Another great episode Charles, with the terrific KFG. Its so good to see a very professional down to earth debate ,on the legend that is Bruce Lee. It's great to hear about all the trials and tribulations about how Bruce reach his goals in life. All the best from Bonnie Scotland.
Hugh indeed! Thanks! I enjoy have the KFG on the show! He’s great! Glad you enjoyed and see you Tuesday and Friday for two new Bruce Lee episodes! Enjoy!👍✌️
Bruce Lee with the real deal people just can't cope with it that's why the question keep coming up of course he was real no doubt about it 👊
Ali agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very true!!!!

I say the same thing little by little it's becoming more brought up pretty soon it's going to be official that lee was a fake blah blah blah
Personally I go by what he's family say about lee so screw all those nay Sayer's
@@katogojira7223 Totally agree! Thanks!
@@CharlesDamianoBLC yo Charles a couple of days ago I was at dollar general and I came across a very legit magazine based on Bruce lee I got lucky it was the last one n I asked if they were going to get anymore .
Nope that's it so I got very lucky with that I posted it some of it on my channel it's a very nice detailed information about lee you should check it out brotha
Hi Charles, Great Episode. Great to see Sifu Alex Richter. I learned a few things about Bruce Lee today that I didn't know. Sifu Alex knows his stuff. Thanks for posting and have a great weekend my friend.

Lee was Beautiful as a human & a Spirit.. I Love seeing Brandon when the Spirit of Bruce Lee would Show Up in His Face... We were Lucky to See the Father & then the Son.. Many are Jealous of Lee .. His Talents & his Art was Pure Greatness... Even his Voice was Perfect for an Asian American...Love Self, Protect Life, Peace..!!!
Totally agree! He certainly was! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for subscribing to the channel! Be well and have a great weekend! See you Friday for another exciting episode!👍✌️

@Charles Damiano Oh like so many of us , seeing ETD when I was a child and instantly becoming a lifelong super fan of Bruce Lee ! Looking forward to part 2 Charles 🙂
@@KingKenny. I guess ETD started it for a lot of us! See you Friday for part 2!
What I don’t understand is why does everyone keep asking former actors, stuntmen, old former fighters about Bruce?
Ask his wife and daughter.
Good point! Glad you enjoyed the show! Have you checked out my new Lee episode that aired today? Also See you tomorrow for a new Bruce Lee short!😃👍✌
Thank you for talking about Chan Wei Man. I've only heard about his underground connections and nothing else, but he actually sounds like a great guy.
You are very welcome and enjoy tomorrow’s new Lee episode! Enjoy!
My wife said she wanted to marry Bruce Lee.😅😂
Ehren lol
Always a bit amazed that Charles could still be surprised on bruce.s stories ,as a fan you check everything and I mean everything on Bruce ...like sifo Alex does
Nico lol I can listen to the same or new stories on Bruce Lee over and over again! They are aways interesting and inspiring! Alex is very knowledgeable and so glad you enjoyed the show and have a wonderful weekend!👍✌️

This is a bunch of crap. Bruce Lee grew up in a wealthy home, His father was a famous Opera singer and Lee was brought to and from school by chauffeured limousine. He began acting classes at the age of 5 and dance classes after that.
@@johnmatonne7834 what the point he still inspired millions around t the world and even after 50 years. And did not to perpetuate the martial arts than any one individual! Also practiced 8 hours a day to perfect his skills and pro fighter who were taught by him or parred with him said the speed and power he generated for his weight was like no other….he was the real deal. Maybe not the best fighter because who determines that but one of the greatest Martial Arts!

This was an absolutely brilliant interview, could sit and listen to you two for hours! Sifu Alex Richter is so knowledgeable when it comes to Bruce Lee/Martial Arts and always offers a very balanced and unbiased view and I respect that. As for the people who say Bruce Lee wasn't a real fighter, I just can't understand it at all. Like I've said before, nobody can become that great of a martial artist and not have some fighting ability! I'm 26 and even people my age refuse to acknowledge what a genius Bruce Lee was and a lot of UFC fighters/fans tend to put him down so much. I see it as clear jealousy and hate for the most part. Of course Bruce wasn't unbeatable and greatest fighter of all time but I believe he was a very capable street fighter and certainly the most influential martial artist of all time. Cheers for the video Charles looking forward to episode 2! 😁👍
Tom well said and totally agree! Lots of haters and trolls out there that are jealous! Alex is the Man! See you Tuesday on the release on my bonus Bruce lee episode and Friday for part 2! 👍🙏
great episode! love hearing about bruce lee's life.
Thomas so do I! Thanks my friend for chiming in! I love having Alex on the show. He is very knowledgeable in Marital Arts and Bruce Lee and is a fun and great guy! See you Tuesday for a bonus Bruce Lee episode I have coming out at 7 am and Friday for part 2! Be well!
The truth or the myth?
Truly educational!
Ed glad you felt that way. Alex is a wealth of information and knowledge on Bruce Lee and martial arts in general especially wing Chun. Glad you enjoy the episode. Check out the other parts that we included Alex in. Have a great weekend and continued enjoyment on the channel be well.
Jesse Glover said , Bruce is like a Ghost against bigger guys they couldn’t touch him.
I heard that as well! thanks for sharing and still the GOAT! Glad you enjoyed the show. Continued enjoyment on the channel! See you Friday for my new episode
KFG come on dude! He's remembered not just because he was the first to do it, but because he had phenomenal skills. Without the skills, no one would give a shit. Btw, what did Scott Adkins do on screen that Bruce Lee couldn't do? Bruce's fight choreography, even to this day, is second to none.
Agreed his skills were second to none and even to this day no one comes close and is still the greatest of all time

Bruce Lee fought on the street !
I defeated a guy that has a brown belt before I learned Tae Kwon Do.
Like Bruce said “ fight on the streets, with no rules “.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments! Continued enjoyment on the channel. He will.
There were dudes in the triads that were afraid to mess with Bruce. Chan Wai-man told it straight up
Totally agree! Thanks for commenting and subscribing! See you This Tuesday for a bonus episode! And Friday for part 2! Enjoy!
Only physically, criminally know. Bruce was diplomatic and there was mutual respect that's why Bruce had some gang members in his films as extras.
@@boshirahmed thanks for sharing your thoughts and subscribing to the channel! Enjoy today and Fridays new Bruce Lee episodes! Enjoy! How long have you been a Bruce Lee fan?
Hi Charles! Hi Alex! A very interesting interview, I took a look at the fight that Alex mentioned with Chen wei men and the Japanese guy. Knocked him out in about 30 seconds. I've seen him in some Kungfu movies playing the good guy and bad. I didn't know who he was and that he was friends with Bruce lee. The pep talk with Brandon was interesting to here. Alex I believe what you say stands to be true. You do research, and you try to bring truth to your podcast and on Charles channel. I never really seen your podcast only when you got hold of those letters about Bruce and drugs. It's not easy for people to here the truth. Between your martial arts training and teachings. Your podcast, and interviews I wish you the best. I can't wait for part two. Hopefully I would meet you in person the day Charles and Hector do the 16 mm or 32 mm movie day of Bruce lee in the city. Much success to sir, much respect. Charles until next week, be well my friend.🙏👏👏👏🎥

Holy Enter the Dragon.....Kung Fu Guru!!!!! That was cool to see him actually there with you! As for the comment of never having to see an old Bruce Lee decline with time...he brought a huge point. Can u imagine if he was alive and the Betty Ping extra-marital scandal came out in the 80s?? Im sure he would still be famous but we would have seen him as human basically with faults. He died young and immortal like James Dean.

Richter has done well here.Knowledgeable and with lot of insight plus anecdotes.Very interesting and a sound assessment of Lee.Which fills in gaps.
Turns out that Lee was a showman,a classy one,right from the beginning.That extra also went in his favor and the build up of his charismatic persona.
The interview brought out the originality of Bruce as well.Much ahead of his time.
Thanks Charles & sifu Alex.👍👌

Sir, according to me, at his times Bruce Lee (at around 1971) used to study books on Carl Watts, Lao Tzu, Buddhism and books on our Indian philosopher, speaker and author JK Murti (Jiddu Krishna Murti)...
And Sir, is Sifu Alex Ritchter available in Facebook and Instagram??
That is correct. Bruce Lee was an avid reader of philosophy. And yes, Alex is on Facebook and Instagram. You can look him up by typing in his name all the best and glad you enjoyed the show. Have a great Sunday.

Because he didnt complete doesnt mean BL wasnt a fighter. Chuck Norris competed as a point fighter YET!!! He couldnt touch BL wiith a ten foot pole. He and others admitted BL was in a one horse race BUT!!! jealousy will always exist.Bruce was an actor but! a MARTIAL ARTIST FIRST. THE GOAY!!!!!!

@@CharlesDamianoBLC No doubt about it CharLee. FANtastic!
Saw the Chan Wai Man interview about Brandon Lee. The video has subtitles, so it's easy to understand why he slapped Brandon. I find the story credible. In Asia, you don't disrespect your elders, whether they are dead or alive. Brandon was no Bruce, but may they both rest in peace. Here's the link to the video - th-cam.com/video/ZW9P7z-fr4Y/w-d-xo.html
Alan thanks! I watched it as well and could also see why it went down that way. Glad you enjoyed the episode. See you tomorrow for my bonus Bruce Lee episode and Friday for part 2! Enjoy my friend!👍✌️
Loved this episode, Charles. I appreciate the fact that Alex will acknowledge that some of what he says is basically his opinion or what he thinks happened but he also explains in detail why he believes those things, he seems to offer educated opinions, not just your run of the mill Bruce Lee was the GOAT or (from the opposing corner) Bruce Lee was just an actor stuff. I watched the Chan Wai Man (hope I got that name right) fight, that was impressive; if that guy respected Bruce Lee as a martial artist that really says something. Also, I didn't remember until now that he was one of the bad guys who fought Jackie Chan in Project A Pt 2!
As for Bruce's respect for Chan Wai Man, I wonder if part of that wasn't because Chan kind of represented things part of Bruce would have wanted to be: a professional fighter with a legit ring record, a real life "gangster", someone with real life experience as a law enforcer, etc.. Bruce's life went in different directions when he moved to the States, but had he stayed in Hong Kong, never been shipped off to America, well, who knows what he would have ended up as ...

Quick question. That photo from Enter the Dragon at the end of the video where Bruce has the cuts on his leg. What's the story behind that? Han doesn't cut his leg in the movie. Was this deleted from the final cut?

Talking about a Bruce Lee successor, I remember in the 70's movie theaters all those Bruce immatator movies came out like Exit the Dragon Enter the Tiger, and such. I have been watching a LOT of kung fu movies late 70's , especially Dragon Lee, Bolo, Bruce Le in them. I have to say most are laughable why I watch them but compelling why we all enjoyed them. I wonder how Bruce would have felt if he could see those or an imitator like Dragon Lee using Bruce's image look but really not mastering martial arts well except those crazy hand moves and spinning kicks? I wonder how he would have felt seeing someone imitate him? I wonder how Bruce would have felt seeing the whole movement of bad Kung Fu martial arts movies that became schlock like all those Wu Tang type movies.? Seems pre 1973 you didn't see them really being made with all the 20 min bad fights trading blocks.
T. Bell Those were very bad. Bruce Lee would have not approved of them. thanks for commenting! See you This Tuesday for a bonus episode!

But the jealous losers naysayers like to clown and say where's iPhone footage, where's Bruce's tournament titles. Tournament champions came to him, tested him, his JKD. Kicked all their asses, THAT IS WHY THEY WANTED TRAIN WITH BRUCE. I keep telling these losers this is not pottery, of course Bruce Lee was fighting them, wanted to prove JKD was effective.
@@eddiegee2940 Eddie well said! Agree!
Thank for that ✊🏻
I think both of you do something unparalleled for Bruce Lee’s fanbase in the World !
But I think, it was more then that „ primacy effect“ , what make Bruce Lee the best.
Nosferatu comes before Graf 🧛♂️, but where is the better or the remembered one !?
Think Scott Adkins isn’t better in his abilities, then Bruce Lee !
Bruce Lee make only 4 1/2 films 🎥 low budget films, and brought martial arts on the big screen single hand !
He was next level.
He formed a new Genre of realistic fighting on and offscreen.
He was faster and stronger then Scott Adkins, with ten times more charisma & screen presence.
Think Speed kills !
Like Sony Liston and M. Ali.
The one was able to land a K.O. with one punch- but Ali was faster one and is the Legend !
Think both are born gifted, and trained this to the next level.
In every art 🖼 they have become the best, in my opinion.

I do not like or respect Chan Wei Man. There’s an interview where he talked about Brandon and how he wanted him to act like his father so he could make a quick buck.
In fact, it made me respect Brandon even more for not trying to be like his father. Although Brandon loved and respected his father, he wanted to be his own person. He even said in an interview that he didn’t want to imitate him and be a poor man’s Bruce Lee.
Also, it’s not that he was “ashamed” of being Chinese, he was telling the truth as he was also an American.
Brandon was able to step out of his father’s shadow with the Crow and was on the cusp of becoming a huge star. Without a doubt, he would be a huge star today if he hadn’t died.
That interview legitimately made me angry and I seriously hate Chan Wei Man for disrespecting Brandon like that.
The Shield thanks for sharing the story! Great point you bring up! Brandon was and will always be his own person! Thanks for commenting g and have a great weekend!👍✌️
He died because there's alot of jealous people. And this was the time Hollywood was not working hard giving alot of Asian males movie opportunities. Little bit here, little bit there. The Grunge BS movement where the only Asian I saw in concerts among sea of Caucasians is the Asian in Smashing Pumpkins. MTV put on a big screen Brandon Crow movie as "remembering" Brandon Lee.the The instant vibe i got from the crowd they didn't really give it f$%k about Brandon. This was illuminati hit job where no one was held accountable for the negligence of Brandon "accidental" gun shot wound" that ended up killing him.At the same time in Carolina, where the movie was filmed, the Carolina Tarheel won NCAA title, it was big news Nation wide also same time Brandon was killed in Carolina. Illuminati symbolism killing a Prince of peace because that was his father represented, that's how much Bruce had influence on large masses of people not only national level but worldwide.

That's a stupid question of course Bruce Lee was a real fighter
Ryu understood but you have lots of people out there that feel he was not a fighter and simply an actor who staged great fights on Screen. I feel otherwise and to me he was the real deal in fighting, martial arts and had the skill to prove it!
@@CharlesDamianoBLC I agree 100%

I have seen Fist of Fear Touch of Death, in that Documentary Film, the first part is on the Tournament to find a successor to Bruce Lee then breaks to show scenes from Thunderstorm.

It depends on your definition of the word "fighter"
Bruce called himself a martial artist, an instructor & an actor 👍
Danny B good view and interesting topic! Enjoy the episode my friend! How and when were you first introduced to Bruce Lee ? Be well and enjoy your day! See you Friday!👍✌️
@@CharlesDamianoBLCI love the goat bruce lee forever you're welcome brothers have a great weekend god bless 🤘🎸
He never claimed to be a fighter, back then nobody in the fight community thought of him as one.
@@cuzz63 thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Bruce lee thought trained and researched the art of fighting after realising the traditional arts karate etc were no good.
Who else had a library of 2000 books before him..no one. Bruce was hunted down and sought after by many and those who had money paid him 250 dollars an hour in the 60s everything he did was geared to street fighting bare knuckle or nothing so you figure it out.
Ian Robinson wirral.

Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for a bonus Lee episode and Friday for part 2! Have a great Sunday!👍✌️
Well done :)! I think the major problem is the change of definition in the past decade. Go here on TH-cam for "Michael Bisping fake martial artists", and you can see what i mean. Even most MMA people praise Lee as great martial artist, but simply not as a fighter. You must see todays definition for "fighter" is as follow:
Its a guy who competes in combat sport, be it Boxing, Thaiboxing, Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, MMA, Amateur Wrestling, etc..
If he gains enough money to make a living he is a professional fighter. If he doesnt gain enough money and needs an other job he is a semi-professional fighter, and if he doesnt gain money at all he is an Amateur fighter.
And you can hate it or not: But there is a truth in that!
So i would say Lee was a real or great street fighter, but not a great fighter. A "fighter" is someone who fights against others in competition, and Lee's record there is very small, 1-0-0 in Amateur Boxing (opponent Gary Elms), other then that some fencing fights since his older brother Peter was a fencer.
So my quote is always: Bruce Lee was not a fighter, but a deadly street fighter.
Thats exactly how Matthew Polly describes it.
Why would anyone claim he was a deadly street fighter when the only known street fights he had as a kid and didnt hurt anyone...we have the 1 confirmed fight with Wong Jack Man and he didnt hurt him either.
Chris well said and thanks for sharing you thoughts. In either case I think we all know that Bruce Lee was the real deal, knew his stuff, had incredible skill and in any fight would have done very well! See you Tuesday for a bonus Bruce Lee episode I have coming out at 7 am and Friday for part 2! Be well!
Good point and I guess we can say he was a street fighter, had great skill and was the real deal when it come to Martial Arts!See you Tuesday for a bonus Bruce Lee episode I have coming out at 7 am and Friday for part 2! Be well!
@15:41 Question from Trevor Smith. Is that Trevor Smith AKA Busta Rhymes?
Not sure only k is him by Trevor Smith.
@@CharlesDamianoBLCI would be cool if it was. ;)
He knocked Elms down but didn't stop him. There have been another couple of amateur fights prior to that fight that have been mentioned but nothing confirmed. Those pictures you showed aren't all of Bruce either. The one at the bottom ppl think the guy trapped in the corner is Bruce but it clearly isn't.
Thanks for the update! Thanks glad you enjoyed and see you tomorrow for another Bruce Lee short! Enjoy!
Jesse Glover witnessed Bruce knocked out Youchi Nakachi in seconds. Nakachi was Black belt in judo, karate, and Japanese Jujitsu. Nakachi challenged Bruce because Bruce kind of pissed Nakachi saying his style was restricted, narrow, unlike Bruce's JKD, very mixed martial arts.
Water is formlessness 😅😂
Bubu that is correct and that is what he said. Glad you enjoyed the show and see you Tuesday for my new Bruce Lee short and Friday for my next featured episode. Have a great week and continued enjoyment on the channel be well.
....Scott Adkins isn't doing anything special on-screen dude, he's done pretty much what we've seen Tai Kwon Do practitioners do since the 1980s. Bruce was way out of everybody's league completely bruh. This guy is dropping all these names of this person, that person as a way to subliminally compare others to his presence but, it's nowhere near the same level of intensity. Bruce passed away so young for his way of life but, with his ever razor edge journey of seeking to be greater by any means possible....I think he would have died prematurely either way or would have broken the overall cheat code of all Martial Arts forever never to be questioned.
Nuchi well said and totally agree! Lee was 50 years ahead of his time! No one can compare! Alex is very knowledgeable and so glad you enjoyed the show and have a wonderful weekend!👍✌️
